Davidson fires 63 to lead Wichita OpenGolf Betting Lines08/05/2010 - Wichita, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Davidson fired an eight-under 63 Thursday to take a one-stroke lead after one round of the Wichita Open. Davidson has made just five starts this year with a tie for seventh his best finish. He has never won on the Nationwide Tour. Scott Gutschewski, who is 19th on the Nationwide Tour money list, posted a seven-under 64 in round one. He was joined in second place by Steven Bowditch, Dan Buchner and Roberto Castro. Davidson played the front nine on the North Course at Crestview Country Club first on Thursday. He posted birdies on the third and sixth. He made the turn at minus-four after back-to-back birdies from the eighth. Around the turn, Davidson parred the first four holes before flying up the leaderboard. Davidson started a birdie run at the par-five 14th. He came right back with a birdie on the 15th and made it three in a row as he birdied No. 16. After a par on 17, Davidson birdied the last to lead by one after the opening round. "I'm not overly long off the tee and this course is not wide open, so any course that rewards accuracy over length is good for me," admitted Davidson, who will sleep on the lead for the first time in his tour career. "Obviously it was a good round. I drove the ball really well today." Gutschewski, a two-time winner on the Nationwide Tour, was on 59 watch after nine holes, but quickly cooled off. He started with birdies on 11 and 12. Gutschewski bogeyed the 13th, but responded with three consecutive birdies from the 14th to get to minus-four. Gutschewski made eagle on the 18th to post a six-under 30 on his opening nine. On the front side, he moved to seven-under with a birdie at the second. However, Gutschewski parred his final seven holes to share second place. "It was a good round. A good start," said Gutschewski, who is playing with a heavy heart after the death of his grandmother on Tuesday. Bowditch and Castro both carded bogey-free rounds that included seven birdies. Castro had six birdies in his first 10 holes, but one over the last eight. Buchner played the back nine first and birdied six of those nine holes and seven of his first 10 overall. After getting to minus-eight with a birdie on the seventh, Buchner bogeyed the ninth, his last, to share second. Jhonattan Vegas is one of four players tied for sixth at minus-six. He was the 18-, 36- and 54-hole leader here last year before ending in a share of fourth place. NOTES: Last week's winner Martin Piller, carded a four-under 67 and is tied for 21st...Tommy Gainey, who is No. 2 on the tour's money list is tied for 36th at minus-three, one stroke behind Nos. 3, 4 and 6 -- Piller, Chris Kirk and Bobby Gates...Kevin Chappell, who is fifth on the money list, is tied for 10th at five-under 66.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half. Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout. Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper". 22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
